Re: [Pythoncard-users] PythonCard Background as a child window of wxPython App

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I don't think you're going to be able to do this without some clunky=20
workaround. If you created a background that isn't visible as your main=20=

PythonCard window and started as a PythonCard app, then your wxPython=20
window could be set to be your main top level window and it would look=20=

just the same as if you started as a wxPython app. When you need to=20
create your PythonCard child window you can call child window using the=20=

hidden window as the parent then store a reference to the child in your=20=

wxPython window as well.

There is a lot of initialization that is done for PythonCard when the=20
application is created, so without having a base PythonCard app a lot=20
of variables just don't exist. The childWindow function itself is very=20=

simple, so you could do your own version to work around the parent=20
problem.
